    The blue-collar AI job market is booming. Will data center backlash make it go bust? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When most people think of AI and jobs, the conversation often pivots to which occupations are most likely to be obliterated by its arrival.

AI is creating jobs in a variety of trades that prop up the sprawling ecosystem that powers giants like Anthropic, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI, and others.
